Teenage drivers have some of the highest accident rates. As we begin to see the white stuff hitting - and sticking to - the ground, please practice safe driving.
Do NOT use your cell phone while driving.
Do NOT text message while driving.
Keep the radio volume to a low level so that you can hear things happening outside of the vehicle.
Scrape off ALL of your windows and defrost them COMPLETELY before pulling out of your parking space or driveway.
Just because it doesn't look icy doesn't mean it isn't. Learn more about black ice.
Here are some resources to help our students become better drivers, especially in Ohio winters.
